Padding Boxes Made Out West.

Space Is so valuable to New York mer-
chants, and particularly those engaged in
the dry goods trade, that they prefer pur-
chasing the packing boxes in which they
send of their goods to making them
upon their own premises.
To manufacture q sufficient number for
their daily need would require consider
able room, and the rent for such accom-
amount saved. Therefore they purchase
them from men who make the sale Of
such boxes a speciality. Their places OF
business are to be seen in all quarters.
Generally they choose some piece of prop
erty, which, through litigation or other
causes, hos not been built upon, where
the rent is trivial: and the lease of short
date, and buy up all the old boxes they
can lay hold of. These they patch up and
sell at a. considerable advance: There are
others in the business, however, who are,
in the true sense of the word, manufac-
turers Some OF them conduct q safe and
profitable business upon small scale,
while others launch thousands of dollars
in the enterprise. These latter are mostly
men residing In Michigan, who buy lum-
ber,by the wholesale. They have saw
mills Of their own, in which they manu-
facture the parts of box complete. &C;
cording to careful measurement The
different portions ara numbered and sent
! to eastern shippers, who have only to nail
them together according TO directions to
have n perfect packing box. Such boxes
can be produced at remarkably low prices,
and the dealers in this city cannot sue
cessfully compete with their western RI
vals. In fact, the business has grown to
such proportions in Michigan that several
firms have invested thousands in forest
lands in order to procure timber ut the
lowest possible cost.-New York Mail and

A Human Wreck.

In the city chain gang, telling in a
listless, hopeless way, may be seen an old
man whose face will impress The student
of human nature. Under his right name
this old man could claim close kinship
with men and women Of wealth and high
social position in a distant State. On
several occasions he has claimed the
attention of the spectators in police
court by short speeches couched in pure
aud eloquent language, and in converse.
ton he shows that be has known better
days. This man, 80 rumor says, was
educated at one of the leading colleges
of the country for the ministry, but
afterwards adopted the profession of
law. In his chosen profession his bril-.
liant intellect made him successful. aud
he was soon on the road to fame and for.
tune. OF good family, his genius and
accomplishments made him social
fayorite, and in time he won the hand of
beautiful society belle. For several
years the fates were kind and he knew
nothing but domestic happiness and
professional success, but in an evil hour
the fortune he had accumulated was
swept by speculation. Close on
the heels of financial disaster came do.
nestle discord and jealously, and the
once happy home was changed to q hell
on earth. Solace was sought in drink,
and the man was soon on the road to
ruin. For several years be has been an
outcast and a wanderer on the face of
the earth, with only enough pride to
conceal his name he once honored. The
end of his career, which cannot be far
distant, will probably be a grave in the
Potter's field, and another sad life history
will pass into oblivion.-Birmingham

How the Lake Was Poisoned.

The story of the poisoning of Dawho
Lake, Georgetown county, by hail
storm, as recently described in the Her.
aid, has been corroborated in every par.
ticular by a prominent citizen of George.
town, who has Investigated the matter at
the request of Gen. Greedy, chief of the
weather service.
A dense mass of black gum trees sur.
round the lake on all sides. 1t is we'll
known that the leaves of these trees are
strongly impregpated with tannic acid.
1t has also been ascertained that the bot
tom of the lake contains slight deposit
of iron. The poisoning Of the water,
therefore, is thus explained: The hail
storm filled the lake with bruised leaves
and small branches from the trees, the
tannic acid emanating from which min.
gled with the iron and formed tannate Of
iron, causing the water to turn black as
ink and bitter as quinine and poisoning
the fish by the thousands. -
One species of the fish inbabiting this
lake survived the singular disaster, and
that was the mud fish, which buried
itself in the mud at the bottom and thus
escaped effect of the poison.
The stencil arising from the mass ol
dead and rotten fish is described as fear.
full. The thousands of buzzards in tax.
ing their departure in the evening for
their roostipg place after days feast
are described as making a noise similar
to that of an approaching cyclone.-G.

A Bald Mans Invention.


1 have only known Of one instance
where badness proved remunerating. A
friend of niue who had shining pate
fell into the habit OF watching the
actions of his tormentors-the flies. He
noticed tbata fly always walks upward.
Put fly on window and up he goes
towards the top; he can't be made 10
walk downward. So my friends hit upon
an idea. Why not use that habit against
them? Forthwith he made a window
screen divided 10 half. The upper half
Tapped over the lower, with an inch of
space between. Well, as soon as fly
would light on the screen it would pro.
ceed to travel upward, and would thus
walk straight out doors. On reaching
the top of the lower half he would go
outside. Not being able to walk down
he had no way to return 10 the room.
By this means q room can be quickly
cleared of flies, which always seek the
light. Ny friend has got out patent,
and proposes to begin systematic war
against the household pest.-&. Louis

The Largest Family,

The largest family of children in
America, born of one mother and father,
is probably that of Mrs. Brandon, of
Moundsville, W. Va. The mother is
only n years old. She has given birth
to and reared thirty-three children, FIVE
daughters and twenty eight sons. Six
teen of the SONS measure in height col
lectively 96 feet 7 inches. All of these
sixteen were volunteers in the Union
army during the rebellion. One was
killed at Pittsburg Landing, one died in
Andersonville, and one, Charles, the
youngest boy, served the longest term in
Libby prison of any Union soldier now
living. Of the fourteen boys who sur.
yived the war all were wounded and draw
pensions. Mrs. Brandon, the mother Of
this baud Of soldiers, has lately been
granted a pension of s2,250. The old
lady is as bright and attractive as most
women of one half her age. She is fond
of outdoor exercise, and only few days
ago walked twenty miles within FIVE
hours.

Set up Your Bar at Home.


Barkeepers in this city pay, on an av.

gallon contains an average of sixty five
drinks, at ten cents drink; the poor
man pays $3.50 per gallon for his whis.

whiskey and 81 so to a man'for handling
it over the bar. Make your wife your
barkeeper. Lend her two dollars to buy
a agallon of whiskey for beginning, and
every time you want q drink go to her
and pay ten cents for it. !. BY the time
you have drank gallon she will have
$3.50, or enough money to refund the 81
borrowed of you, to pay for another gal
Ion of liquor and have balance of $3.50.
She will be able to conduct future opera.
